I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Brigadoon!Ferris Wheel made me feel a lot better about my whole, "How did a bunch of carnies end up in Japan?" angst.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I kind of liked the episode... not coincidentally, there were a lot of female characters with agency in it.

Plus Zachary Quinto got to have Teh Angst. (He EARNED those emo bangs, damnit.)

Now we know why Pete Wentz hacked his off -- World Class Emo Bangs are like CPAs.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels icky about Gretchen. hrm.

I can't get my mind around WHAT THAT COP WAS DOING OMG. Is it standard procedure to arrest, bully, and handcuff someone who's wandering and obviously out of it? Seriously?

Really liking Emma and would not mind if she and Peter got busy. (what would *those* sounds look like, one wonders [evilly]??)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I didn't see that twist with the sorority girl coming, which was nice.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

To go back and answer dcp's question, the Signing was good, not a direct word-for-word of the English, but the same basic idea, just more natural to ASL. I wish they'd not cut to reaction shots while someone else is signing, to get the whole of the "line reading".

I'm actually kind of looking forward to tonight.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Sylar's hair is wonderfully dorky.

Peter and Noah found Ned the piemaker!

Awww, my Bennet-love grew! I didn't think that was possible.

I am very, very afraid that Ray Park is gonna get the top of his head sawed off. Sigh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I didn't FF through any of this. Sylar kept me through the carnival, lots of Petey, Hiro being cute, Bennet doing good, and Emma coming to terms.

I do miss Dr. Suresh, though. He could have sex with Pete. Lots of shirtlessness. And I miss Nathan/Adrian. I can't believe they're remembering her magic blood after they didn't save her dad with it.

Ray Park is cute angry. It's a shame his power is so fast, because we don't get Darth Maul magic at those speeds.
